While Capaldi and Steven Moffat combined to deliver some brilliant episodes - all of Series 9 is very good, and the final two instalments astonishingly so - it did feel like things had grown stale. We knew what we were going to get, the writing didn't have quite the same spark, and it was undoubtedly time for a change.

Thanks to the new team, Doctor Who doesn't just feel very fresh, but it feels genuinely exciting too - and so much of that comes from Whittaker. Hers is a Doctor who truly want to go on adventures with, and cannot wait to see where she takes you next.

What did you think of Jodie Whittaker's debut? Let us know down in the comments.
